Abstract :
As the high resolution radar satellite´s has been successfully launched, its ability of the typical target´s recognition monitor enhances a lot. This article mainly does analysis based on the RADARSAT2 quad-polarimetric data, compared scattering properties of typical target feature with two temporal full polarized data, and used the measured data to drive MIMICS (Michigan Microwave Canopy Scattering model) model and carry on the multi-wave band full polarization backscattering simulation about the farmland and forest. Then we carried on the comparison between X, C band SAR image gain´s actual scattering value and simulation value in order to infer the typical target feature´ scattering properties rule of S band. With anticipation of HJ-1-C satellite soon launched by China and then we can carrry on the comparison with the fact. Along with the full polarized data´s development, the typical target feature´s scattering properties analysis will be more perfect.
